Hotels Out, Military Sites In | UK News

Thirteen hotels, including Nottingham’s Britannia, are closing as the UK government phases out asylum seeker accommodation in hotels — a move expected to save £51 million annually. With fewer than 160 hotels now in use (down from nearly 400), 44 have shut this year alone, with 224 million pounds in projected savings. The government is relocating asylum seekers to larger, basic sites like former military bases to speed up decisions and restore control to the system. But critics warn that simply swapping hotels for barracks won’t fix deeper delays or systemic issues — isolation remains a concern, and without addressing Home Office bottlenecks, the new model may not improve outcomes.
